Which cities are getting the chop?
Delta's most recent schedule changes come as the airline continues to shuffle service between markets and reassess its priorities regarding competition with other carriers. According to The Points Guy, the planned Boston to Memphis direct flight no longer shows the same demand it did when it was first announced, especially after"We are constantly evaluating our network strategy based on a myriad of factors related to market and operating conditions.
Last month, Delta also announced it would scrap plans to begin direct service between Boston and Toronto it had announced a year earlier. However, American also recently announced three daily direct flights between the cities, as well as facing other competition with daily flights from WestJet and Air Canada.But Delta is still facing significant issues regarding being shorthanded on staff.
The following day, another open letter from Delta MEC outlined how workers were being stretched thin at unprecedented levels."We have been working on our days off, flying a record amount of overtime to help you get to your destination. At the current rate, by this fall, our pilots will have flown more overtime in 2022 than in the entirety of 2018 and 2019 combined, our busiest years to date."Zach is a freelance writer specializing in beer, wine, food, spirits, and travel.
